Copied from a different forum since I was not told any specific details at the track today:
Sorry, that is all I have at the moment. Stay safe out there guys.
Yesterday, a gentleman driving a Green Eastlake 11 came up on a Mini who was stopped at track side getting a tow. The yellow was not visible, but was displayed. The Westlake spun and slid into the Mini, killing the Westlake driver. The Mini driver was ok, but a safety worker was also injured.

Oh no...That is just awful.
RIP....And Peace be with his whole family.
I hope the safety worker will recover.
Do you know what turn this was in? How was the yellow displayed, but not visible?

I just spoke with a one of the 'in the know' people at RA.
There was no injury to a safety worker. It was at track out for Turn 13 (billy mitchell).
All flags were visible and correctly displayed according to track video.
